The first place you should visit when you come to Vietnam is the Bat trang ceramic village. It’s an old handicraft village in Hanoi. In Bat trang village, you will see tons of interesting things made of ceramic. And most of them could be good giveaway gifts. Vietnam vases are a well known product. And you will find many beautiful models of them in this village. One thing in common with these products is they all have very detailed decorations.
Have you ever heard about bamboo products of Vietnam? How about Vietnam bamboo bowls? These bowls are made of bamboo patterns and silk to create almost all shapes of forms. There is a slight difference in price of bowls with and without silk decoration. These bowls are perfect to store fruits or you can use them as a nice decoration in the living room.
Taffeta handbag is another good traditional product of Vietnam. Just to let you know, the origin of these products is from the silk painting handicraft. Because silk is a sign of nobility and is not that hard to turn into other products. That answers the question why there are many silk craftsmen all around Vietnam. You might notice that the primary colors of those hand bags are black and white. One thing in common is, they all have beautiful decorations on their bodies.
Decorative masks are the final things I want to show you. These masks are decorated with bright colors and different emotions of human faces. The materials used to make the masks are mainly wood. The first step of creating these masks is to carve the wood by hand. And lastly, the craftsmen will use colors to decorate them.
The above things are not all handicraft products of Vietnam. But I’m sure if you’re interested in them, you will find out more on your trip to Vietnam.
